So I'll bve gettting one of these soon but I don't know what games are out at the moment. I heard a lot about Mass Effect (only for x-box) and GTAIV (for both, but apparently new episodes are x-box exclusive?),  and also Fable 2 (only for x-box, shit are all cool games on the box?) but I don't know of any other games.

I've been leaning towards x-box 360, but I just want to know if there's any reason to get PS3 at the moment? (aka like any really amazing games only for that system?)

Mass Effect is also for PC.

PS3 has Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank: Future Tools of Destruction, Resistance: Fall of Man, and Warhawk atm really.

It's gonna have other good games very soon though, like Final Fantasy XIII, God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, and Little Big Planet (which basically will make the ps3 must get anyways)

X-Box 360 has like Halo 3, and I can't really name any good exclusives for it that aren't on PC at this time. I'm sure some will come to me.

PS3 also has Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, even if it's just a "big" demo. Folklore is pretty decent too. Tekken 6 is in limbo.. Probably not going to be released on the PS3 until, from what I've heard, April 2009. PS3 also has Devil May Cry. I've never played the series, but I think its popularity on the PS2 must speak for itself.

EDIT: Just noticed GT5 was already mentioned, but whatever. It is fucking BEAUTIFUL in HD. Best looking game I've ever played.

oh yeah devil may cry i forgot about that...but wait the new one is for both x box and ps3 right?

i don't have any game notes at the moment, but one thing worth mentioning is that PS3 has free online and is a blu-ray player. in fact, the PS3 is among the cheapest blu-ray players on the market and it's more than just a player. you may not care about blu-ray now, but it would be nice to have down the line since it's the next official media for movies and the like.

get tf2 for pc no one gives a fuck about fps on consoles its true

(sorry bm)

Don't count on Capcom to make exclusives in the near future.  I think Umbrella Chronicles is their only current gen exclusive.

This.  I bought a PS3 for MGS4 but quickly found myself collecting blu-ray movies just like how I ended up being a fan of DVDs when I got the PS2.  IMO Sony's online service is much friendlier than XBL and I like the friends option a lot more.  There's a couple of good games in the store like Fl0w and Pixel Junk Monsters as well as tons of demos and movies and stuff.

As far as games go, both systems are pretty neck and neck.  Mass Effect just hit the PC, BioShock has been announced later this year for PS3 (I think), and pretty much every 3rd party game is multiconsole (and the PS3 is more powerful so, generally, the games look better and run faster).

Yeah, DMC4 is 360 and PS3.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is only on one of those and I think that game alone could sell the PS3 to you if you played it.

I was faced with this problem a month ago, I chose the PS3 because it has a lot more potential than the 360.

You should make your decision based on what game franchises you enjoy the most. In the past I have been obsessed with MGS and Gran Turismo therefore I was willing to spend an extra £100 to get what I wanted.

that's a good value I suppose. though i kinda think that by the time dvds are discontinued regular blu-ray players will be mega cheap anyway. could be majorly wrong because I know nothing about this.

I really don't follow too many, although, I suppose that Devil May Cry and Final Fantasy would be the exceptions. idk I'll have to look into what games I enjoy more I suppose.


but generally, aren't there more shooters for x box and more rpgs/adventure games for ps3?


on a minor sidenote, how is Assassin's Creed? either way I think I'm gonna get this game.

dude why is this even a querstion. The only gmae PS3 has is Ninja gaiden. Why do you think they still put next gen games on the PS2?
PS2 did RPGs right, but 360 is getting into that, albeit very slowly, like one every couple of months.

lol what?

Ya, one of its killer apps (MGS4) just came out a couple days ago, along with R&C/Resistance/etc...ya all it has is NG.

-_-

ps3 got Ninja Gaiden Sigma. It's really good I rec it if you like the genre.

Xbox 360 got Ninja Gaiden 2.

Xbox 360 has YODA

and PS3 got NG1... and nothing else.

Did you read the topic or what? Are you fucking stupid jesus christ.

and PS3 got NG1... and nothing else.

PS3 has Warhawk the better online shooter out of the two, it has Uncharted a better action, it looks better, plays blue-ray movies and can do whole load of stuff that the Xbox360 can't do.

The only reason why I prefer the Xbox 360 is because I play multiplayer games and all of my friends own 360's aswell. Plus Ninja Gaiden two is just to intense to pass up.
